First Star Wars Memory

The Star Destroyer from A New Hope flying overhead, and watching it just go on and on...

Favorite Film

Has to be A New Hope -- without this we wouldn't have anything else!

Favorite Character

I can’t pick one; it has to be Luke Skywalker along with the Shadow/Blackhole strormtrooper, which first appeared in a 1979 comic.

Favorite Scene

Always two, there are: Jabba the Hutt’s palace, which is a great ensemble scene, and Luke staring at the two suns on Tatooine.
